What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We need a fresh new web 2.0 front door. We'd like to keep the same logo and basic colors but everything else can change. The sense of our site is serious about fun and I hope this comes across in some of the people pictures. A good design will convey this. Half our members are under 30 years old. We're mostly US males but we are increasingly female, European, more varied ethnically. We seek to be inclusive of everyone and maintain a very free environment.
